Stopped in for breakfast late one Saturday. There was a wait for tables but seating was available at the counter which we were happy to take. One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and the bread basket was homemade & delicious. Will be back!

I always enjoyed eating at Tecolote at their old location. Like many I was very disappointed when it lost its lease and appeared to be shut down. I wad thrilled when it reopened on St. Michael's drive. My visit at the new location was disappointing. I haven't been back. Hopefully it will get back to its earlier quality and I'll...

I had the Tecolote burger and it was incredible. Ask for extra green chiles for sure. Good food...a little out of the way if you are staying by the square...but worth the drive if you are looking for a great green chile cheeseburger.

Came with a group of six state employees and contractors working on a project, sat right away and served water! Given time to order, dishes then came after a while. Each fish was good. I loved my green chile stew with extra chile for seasonings/spicing! Waitress even willing to give separate checks! Business groups or family groups all treated like...

My family and stopped here on a whim and were all blown away. My husband and I ordered a special which consisted of homemade biscuits smothered with red and green chile gravy, sausage and melty cheese. There was not a bite left.

Tried Tecolote for the first time for breakfast and it was excellent. Nice looking space and great food. The pancakes are huge and extremely fluffy; they come with several flavor options. Their New Mexican items are flavorful and spicy. Will definitely be coming back again.

Very disappointed we had to wait 45 min to get in at “ The Pantry” so tried Tecolote….strange no crowd at all. Went right in…found out why….potatoes were room temperature….probably left over from yesterday. Bacon was cold not even room temperature. Eggs…..asked for over medium no runny white……guess what. Didn’t get that. Crisp on one side and cold on the...

This is an old establishment famous for their bread/muffin baskets. Green chili was excellent. Chocolate milk is made with syrup. Pancakes are huge and thick but fluffy. Carne assada lacks something. Waite staff over the top excellent. Place is 5 times bigger with a lot of atmosphere. Locals seem to like it.

One of the best breakfasts in Santa Fe. Traditional breakfast menu--or New Mexican. All is fresh, fast with generous portions. And definitely get the pastry basket--biscuits and muffins to accompany your coffee! Great green chili (for the omelete) and friendly staff. Great for families.
